NHEBJE - Psalms - 41

41:1  Blessed is he who considers the poor. Jehovah will deliver him in the day of evil.

41:2  Jehovah will preserve him, and keep him alive. He shall be blessed on the earth, and he will not surrender him to the will of his enemies.

41:3  Jehovah will sustain him on his sickbed, and restore him from his bed of illness.

41:4  I said, "Jehovah, have mercy on me! Heal me, for I have sinned against you."

41:5  My enemies speak evil against me: "When will he die, and his name perish?"

41:6  If he comes to see me, he speaks falsehood. His heart gathers iniquity to itself. When he goes abroad, he tells it.

41:7  All who hate me whisper together against me. They imagine the worst for me.

41:8  "An evil disease," they say, "has afflicted him. Now that he lies he shall rise up no more."

41:9  Yes, my own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, who ate bread with me, has lifted up his heel against me.

41:10  But you, Jehovah, have mercy on me, and raise me up, that I may repay them.

41:11  By this I know that you delight in me, because my enemy doesn't triumph over me.

41:12  As for me, you uphold me in my integrity, and set me in your presence forever.

41:13  Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, from everlasting and to everlasting! Amen and amen.
